The intent of this remembrance page is for Jodi's family and
friends to tell us how they will always remember her. Pretend
you're telling someone about Jodi. You would describe her
personality, characteristics, traits, values, strengths,
weaknesses, mannerisms, likes, dislikes, style, funny quirks,
etc. For example, you would begin by saying "Jodi was..."
Please send me these memories. Thanks!

Wow, Jodi Callahan. I'm still in shock over her death. I didn't know Jodi in high school, but I certainly
"knew" of her! But then who couldn't?! In her senior year alone, she was on the swim team, Homecoming royal
court, French club, Student Government President, National Honor Society, and she went to France with the
French Club over the 1985 summer break.
She was voted "Most Likely to Succeed" by the class, and she was extremely popular and well liked.
Jodi came to the 10 year reunion, and this is when I finally got to know her. She looked exactly the same
to me but with just longer hair -- she was absolutely beautiful! We spent some quality time
together, and she had such a very warm and caring heart. She had a very easy, go lucky attitude about her but
she was very driven. It saddens me that I didn't realize how unhappy she was and this was just a front, as
it was only four months later that she took her own life. I remember looking forward to getting email, so we could
correspond with each other. My last memory of her will be at the airport, as she was leaving on the same
flight as my husband. I remember hugging her goodbye and saying we'll talk soon.
To this day, I often wonder what was right around
the corner for her, as she had such a bright and prosperous future. God Bless you, Jodi, my friend.
